RE: Northern (Arriva Rail North) - pdiddy - 05 Apr 2017
Does anybody know the workings of Northern trains ... e.g. like the running boards a bus uses.
Does a train for example ... Do toon to Boro then maybe back to Toon and then to Carlisle ... then do Carlisle to somewhere else down the west. Or does it just stay on a certain run all day???

Units will have their booked workings throughout the day (including train additions and divisions) so it is similar to the way buses go out with running boards.
Northern usually work their diagrams out based on mileage and maintenance; units can and often are shifted from depot/outstations to others by finishing at various places. For example, a unit from Heaton one morning could end up at Workington that evening, then run up and down the Cumbrian Coast before ending at Barrow, then Allerton etc.
Of course if disruption occurs, this can be thrown out the window.

Tyresmoke did a 'running board' for a number of units a while back - think it is in this thread. It may be out of date, but it gives a good idea.

Here's the amended timetable on the Tyne Valley Line
RE: Northern (Arriva Rail North) - South Tyne Lad - 09 May 2017
158842 is currently in the North East for a C Exam at Heaton, And should be leaving on Friday/Saturday.
Talking about 158's, Its rumoured the first one could be up here as soon as September for Familiarisation.
And anyone who rides 142079 for the rest of its working life will find that it had a Engine Replacement helped out/assembled by me while on Work Experience, Only for me to help out on a B Exam on it the next day! Don't worry, Everything was bolted together tightly....

RE: Northern (Arriva Rail North) - Michael - 18 May 2017
Strike action is planned for Tuesday 30 May.
We will do our best to keep you on the move. However, we will be operating a reduced service and expect all services to be busy. Customers are advised to give themselves more time to travel and to consider whether their journey is necessary.

Just noticed this
158's will be coming in New Northern Connect Spec for the merging of the current 1x Hour Newcastle-Carlisle Service with a new Semi-Fast express Service to Middlesbrough via the ECML calling at Chester-Le-Street,Durham and onwards to Middlesbrough via the Stillington Line at Ferryhill, There will continue to be a 1x Hour Middlesbrough/Nunthorpe via Durham Coast Service and the Hexham short will continue to Carlisle forming a Half Hourly Service.
Last 142's should be leaving by 3rd Quarter 2019, So basically late Summer/ Autumn time.
RE: Northern (Arriva Rail North) - Andreos1 - 01 Jul 2017
A nice little retro surprise on 142 015 earlier.
